Why Music is so Important

Have you ever looked at someone performing a piece of music and thought “I wish I could do that”? Or have you ever been moved by a recording or a live performance? Watched a movie and been scared, tense, happy, or sad? These are a just a few of the things music can do. It has the power to move you, inspire you, remind you of a place or time, or augment any emotion. Whatever you feel, you can feel it stronger with music. And no matter your background or where you come from, chances are music plays a part in your daily life.

How Can You Develop Music as a Talent?

While a musician might make a performance seem effortless and easy, the reality is that it takes time to develop a talent. Even the most accomplished musician started out as a beginner and got better through practice, discipline and perseverance. While there is a process to master a musical instrument, the rewards are limitless.

Music is creative. Music is emotional. It is an art and a science. It can be done as a solo activity or with a group of people. It is both social and intimate. Music can be an outlet to express emotions, fuel creativity and develop multiple skill sets, often at the same time. Muscle groups, feet, eyes, and ears will all need to work in perfect harmony for a performance to come together.

The best part about music is that anyone can do it.

The beauty of playing an instrument is that it can be done at any age and at any level. You can enjoy the sounds and see progress even at the beginning stages, and the more time you spend on it, the better you will become. Music can be a hobby, a career or anything in between. It is an activity that is fun and rewarding and will bring you pride and confidence.

Learning to play an instrument takes time and effort

Working it into your routine will help you develop good habits and discipline. Working through challenges successfully will build character. Performing, in front of an audience or at home by yourself, will bring you joy.

There is no question that learning a musical instrument can play an extremely important role in a child’s development. As a parent, it is important to create opportunities for your children, to be supportive and to understand that there will be ups and downs throughout the process.

Music can be learned at any age!

Finally, a common story that is often told goes like this: “When I was young, I wish my parents wouldn’t have let me quit my lessons. I regret it now”. If that statement touches a nerve, just remember that it is never too late to learn how to play music. That it is not only for children, it is also beneficial for adults. And that many adults, some older than you, do it each and every day. No matter at what stage of life, there are immeasurable and tangible benefits to playing an instrument. So go ahead and try it, you may surprise yourself!
